True the MD-8x series CAN fly with one engine, but not for very long distances. The pilot sounded serious, calm and relaxed as he should be in this type of situation.

I work for Allegiant. We have some really good pilots who know what they're doing. I have full confidence in them, but you have to realize it's the nature of the industry to have issues. Physics are against us and there are so many variables that allow us to fly. In more ways than just the aircraft, pilots, and weather.

at 2:33 it looks like a spotlight truck or something. Not sure, but it is some sort of emergency vehicle.

to celebrate the safeness of this landing, the pilot should have done a go-around, a celebratory loop the loop and then flown upside down over the control tower before doing a lap of honour around Texas and then making a CATIII auto-land.

What airline is this?

A very good landing considering he had 50% less thrust, if i had not known that an engine was out i wouldent have notice the diffrence.
